Default "Gentlemen..!

...We're stuck down here, we have a bunch of tommies sh!tting all over us but on the bright side we're already at the bottom so they cant do much more!"
I could almost hear one of my officers saying that!
And i have to thank Thomsen and his "No instant death mod" for this experience!
I was attacking a Large Convoy inbound to England at about the shallowest point of Rockall Bank, May 1941, U-27 IXB boat. I fetched myself 2 Large Merchants, a Large Tanker and an Ore Carrier. Now its time for my way out.
As usual, the DDs picked me and came to depth charge me. After a couple of mins i was pleasantly surprised to see that only one DD came to DC me.
It did and at about the 3rd or 4th pass, a lucky strike destroyed both my propellers and my compressor.
Normally that would have killed me but thanks to Thomsen it didnt.
They depth charged the heck out of me but they scored no other hits but some minor, distant ones. After some hours, they left. It took me several additional hours to get back to the surface, hit ESC, "Exit Patrol" and fetch me about 700 reknown.
Unrealistic? Maybe
Exciting? YES!
